Masuda's work sure is great, but coincidentally, it sounds like somebody else has had the idea more than a century before him (some searching reveals the song they sing is a sped-up version of "Polly Wolly Doodle" from 1880).

Although I have to disagree with a previous post of yours (IMO the best music is Johto/Sinnoh/Unova/Kanto-Hoenn tied), this... my whole world is a lie...

I'll post 1 from any generation: Battle soundtracks only because they get me pumped up before/during studying/gym and to have a fair basis of comparison.
Kanto:

Trainer Battle (totally tied with wild battle/champ) the track that started it all!

Lance/Red theme, THE best soundtrack that has ever been and will ever be, period.

May's theme. Hoenn was not as great as the other regions, but had a few soundtracks of its own :)

I thought Dialga's and the trainer theme were the best Gen4 had to offer. Oh, lord Giratina, was I wrong... Seriously, try lifting while listening to this. SERIOUSLY.

Hue's theme. BW2 did a so much greater job than BW.

Awesomeness of johto, reason enough to make it the favorite region of your childhood. Or even adulthood :3I selected the version I like most in both tracks.

Best starting town theme EVER, followed closely by Aspertia city (BW2).
Also this:

Really made me want to hurry and have the final important battles with cyrus and Dialga with that climaxing.

Dreamyard music, a tiny bit better that eterna forest. More cheery and dreamy!

I'm sure its in here, but the National Park in HGSS is one of the best video game pieces of music there is.

And I know a lot of people don't like Gen 4 (Its my favorite as far as storyline and in game), but man, overall I think it had the best music of all of the games. Whoever wrote and recorded those tunes deserves a medal of some kind. Palkia, Giratina, Cynthia, nearly every route, Looker's theme is really cool, their use of piano was really well placed in this gen, and the music really added a lot to the game.

Also, the S.S. Anne theme is really good. I think its very appropriately composed, it fits really well.
